When five-year-old Michael "Monkey" Vaughan went missing in July of 2021, police were confident that they'd find him soon, hopeful that he'd only wandered off. But now, four years later, prosecutors are pursuing murder charges against one of Michael's neighbors.

On Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1997, 16-year-old Karen Mitchell vanished in Eureka, California. Originally from Whittier near Long Beach, she had moved north a few months earlier to live with her aunt and uncle, hoping the rural setting would suit her nature-loving personality better than Southern California. That afternoon, Karen caught a ride with her aunt to Bayshore Mall, then left around 2:45 p.m. to walk about a mile along Broadway (US 101) to her daycare job...but she never arrived. When her aunt came to pick her up hours later, Karen was gone. Despite immediate searches and her mother’s desperate trip north, Karen Mitchell was never seen again.

Sixteen-year-old Timothy “Jack” McCoy spent Christmas 1971 with his relatives in Michigan, leaving on January 2, 1972, to return home to Nebraska. After arriving in Chicago for a bus connection, he met a man who offered him food and a tour of the city. Timothy accepted, but he would never be seen alive again. Fourteen years later, his family learned he had been the first known victim of John Wayne Gacy, the infamous “Killer Clown.” Through the accounts of survivors and families, The Devil in Disguise series uncovers Gacy’s horrifying legacy and the failures that allowed his killing spree to continue for years.

In November 2011, Andrea Eilber, 20, was found dead and slumped on a chair in the basement of her aunt's Mayfield Township home. Her boyfriend at the time, Kenneth Grondin III, was convicted of her murder in 2015 and sentenced to life. In 2018, the Michigan Court of Appeals overturned his conviction finding that the jury verdict form improperly omitted a ‘not guilty' option, rendering the verdict invalid. More recently, DNA from the crime scene was tested at Othram and through genetic genealogy, a new suspect emerged...For bonus episodes and outtakes visit: patreon.com/generationwhySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last week, you learned about Heather Caras' life, her disappearance, and the trail of confusion that followed. On January 24, 2025, Heather had planned to take her younger son on a special outing after a minor disagreement the night before. According to him, that morning, Heather said she was going outside to start her vehicle, but she never returned. After waiting for some time, he walked to school to tell someone that something was wrong.What followed was a series of strange events. Instead of involving social services, local residents were called in to look after Heather's children, a decision that struck her friends as deeply concerning. When photos of Heather's home began circulating, they showed some rooms inside her home in disarray. Her friends weren't sure whether Heather had made the mess herself, searching for something, or whether someone else had ransacked the house.The next day, one of Heather's neighbors found her truck parked at Beaver Bay, miles west of her Linton, North Dakota home. The scene was baffling: a trail of footprints in the snow that ended abruptly, and a new pair of shoes, the same brand Heather always wore, left behind, but not a pair her friends recognized. To make matters worse, there were conflicting accounts about her phone. Some said it was found in the truck; others pointed to photos showing her purse and phone still sitting on a counter inside her home.Back home in North Carolina, Heather's friends tried to make sense of it all. Locals seemed to be pointing fingers in every direction, and sometimes, back at Heather herself. Then came a press release from the Emmons County Sheriff's Office that left them in shock. It said that Heather “may have previously reached out to an unknown prior acquaintance living out of state to assist in leaving the area and may have taken steps to avoid detection or being located.” To those who knew her best, that explanation wasn't plausible. Heather was devoted to her sons. The idea that she would simply walk away from them, from everything, didn't fit the person they knew.Months later, at the end of May, Heather's remains were found in a field miles from where her truck had been parked. But finding Heather didn't bring answers. It only deepened the mystery. How had she ended up there, in the freezing cold? Why would she have gone there at all? The medical examiner couldn't determine the cause or manner of her death. There were no signs of trauma, and toxicology tests indicated that there were no drugs in her system that could have caused an overdose. Her death was ruled undetermined.Yet, despite that uncertainty, the Emmons County Sheriff's Office publicly stated that the autopsy “confirmed what investigators had believed all along,” that there was no foul play, and that Heather had suffered a mental health crisis. For her friends, that statement felt like a rewriting of history. From the beginning, officials had said Heather left voluntarily with an unknown acquaintance. Now, they claimed this had been their belief all along. It felt like an easy way to close the book on a case that still didn't make sense.Today, we're going to explore where things stand now that Heather has been found, take a closer look at her life in the months before she vanished, and the questions that still linger today.If you have any information about the disappearance and death of Heather Caras, please contact the Emmons County Sheriff's Office at 701-254-4411.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 113 Katherine 'Kat' Hammontre   April, 2019 was a tough month for 68 year old Katherine 'Kat' Hammontre. She had battled liver Cancer, but eventually decided not to seek treatment for it, and to face what came on her own terms. She was looking forward to her one year anniversary with her husband Warren Sundquist and enjoying the life she was living in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico, where she had moved to in the late 1990s. On April 11, Kat along with her husband, and a group of hikers decided to explore the beautiful area of Cañón del Diablo, or Devils Canyon in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park, near San Felipe in Baja California. Warren and another man stayed down near the entrance to the trail, while Kat and the other hikers made their way up to see the waterfalls. That day, Kat had brought along her dog; Tootsie. On her way up the trail, Kat, who had injured her foot not long before the outing, stopped to rest on her own with Tootsie while the other hikers finished their climb. She planned to meet the group when they came back down. Later, when the group came back down, there was no sign of Kat or Tootsie. When the group made it down to Warren, he was shocked to find his wife was missing. Extensive searches of the area turned up no signs of Kat or Tootsie, and today, she remains missing. Kat's daughter Desiree, who is our guest in this episode, made her way to the area to join the efforts in finding her mom. She desperately wants to know what happened to her mom, and bring her home so that she can give her a proper farewell.  If you have information in Kat's case, please contact Mexican authorities; State Civil Protection 686-555-4998 ' To learn more about Kat's case, visit the Facebook page set up by her daughter Desiree; Katherine is still missing  To listen to every episode of Missing Persons early, and ad-free, and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.  Follow us on social media; https://linktr.ee/missingpersonspodcast

In 1929, a young Japanese pilot named Masashi Goto set out to achieve the impossible: fly his homemade biplane, the Ryofu-Go (“Thunderbird”), across three continents and land in Japan. Goto was the first Japanese citizen to earn a U.S. pilot's license, inspired by pioneers like #HarrietQuimby, #AmeliaEarhart, and #BessieColeman. After years of hard work, Goto finally launched his world flight attempt. On July 4, 1929, carrying both an American flag and a letter bound for Japan, he departed Salt Lake City on the next leg of his journey. But over Utah's rugged Uinta Mountains, a violent thunderstorm ended his dream.Four days later, a sheepherder named Nymphus Simmons found the wreckage in Dry Canyon. Goto's neck was broken instantly on impact. Though his flight was unfinished, his story became a powerful symbol of ambition, sacrifice, and the courage to bridge cultures. Today, a weathered monument on Highway 35 near Kamas, Utah, marks the site of his dream's end. Once vandalized during WWII, it was later restored by the Japanese Association of Utah and the Japanese American Citizens League—ensuring his name will never fade from memory.#MasashiGoto #RyofuGo #JapanesePilot #AviationHistory #JapaneseAmericanHistory #ImmigrantStories #TakeoWatanabe #UintaMountains #UtahHistory #SaltLakeCity #KamasUtah #WolfCreekPass #OitaJapan #JapaneseHeritage #NymphusSimmons #BessieColeman #HarrietQuimby #AmeliaEarhart #1929Flight #AviationTragedy #TrueCrimeHistory #TwistedTales #ProfilingEvil #Twistedtales=======================================20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevilOrder Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard disappeared from Vandenberg Village where she lived in Lompoc, California. The case has left investigators and family searching for answers and this episode reconstructs the official timeline, down to the white Chevy Malibu rental on Oct. 7th, to a license-plate swap and a confirmed Oct. 9 sighting near the Colorado–Utah border. Let's talk about the homeschool-study process that delayed reporting and explore some mental-health and behavioral possibilities, all whiile we try to understand why California officials havent filed charges in hopes the mother will produce the missing child. Then, with eirie dejavu, let's draw a procedural parallel to the Lori Vallow Daybell case—showing how court orders to produce a child might change everything. Bottom line: If you were in Green River or Panguitch, Utah; Littlefield, Arizona; Primm, Nevada; Rancho Cucamonga, California on Oct. 9–10, 2025, check your dashcam/doorbell/CCTV for any evidence of Melodee's location. #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #LoriDaybell #LoriVallow #Daybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #Lompoc #VandenbergVillage #SantaBarbaraCounty #SBSO #FBI #Utah #Arizona #Nevada #RanchoCucamonga #GreenRiver #Panguitch #Littlefield #Primm #MissingChild #AtRisk #Wigs #ChevyMalibu #HomeSchool #Truancy #California #Tip #TrueCrime #missingperson #missingchild #victim #predator=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

Living our true identity requires faith-driven action. It takes courage to refuse the labels of others, or the false identities we've embraced as a matter of survival. People and institutions will always try to conform us into something they can label, pigeonhole, and dismiss. When we choose to trust God's revealed identity for us, we choose courage.

Wylie, TX. On Friday, June 13, 1980, Betty Gore was found dead in her Texas home, killed with an axe that struck 41 times in what seemed like a frenzied attack. The investigation led the authorities to a surprising suspect, but the trial that followed left the community stunned and bewildered.

On the morning of January 24, 2025, 39-year-old Heather Caras disappeared from her home in Linton, North Dakota. When she stepped outside, her two teenage sons were still at home. One of her sons later recalled that Heather said she was going to start her vehicle, but she never came back. This was out of character for Heather, who was known to be a devoted and protective mother, given that both of her boys have special needs. When she didn't return, one of the boys walked to school to sound the alarm that something was wrong. The next day, Heather's truck was found at Beaver Bay, about fifteen miles west of Linton. The scene there was strange: a set of footprints leading away from the vehicle, then abruptly ending, and a pair of shoes neatly placed in the snow.In the days that followed, few clues emerged. Then came a statement from law enforcement claiming that Heather had “left her family and the area willingly with the assistance of an unknown acquaintance and was not known to be in any danger.” To those who knew Heather best, that theory wasn't just out of character; it was unthinkable.As we were preparing to cover Heather's disappearance, news broke in late May that human remains had been found not far from Beaver Bay. They were later confirmed to be Heather's remains, but the autopsy results left those who knew and loved her with even more questions than answers. If you have any information about the disappearance or death of Heather Caras, please contact the Emmons County Sheriff's Office at 701-254-4411.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Convicted killer Chad Daybell has released a new letter from death row, Letter #8 - “The Great Eclipse.” In it, he turns an ordinary solar eclipse into a supernatural event and compares himself to a cartoon character as he rewrites his own story as a misunderstood prophet rather than a three-time convicted killer. Let's look at Daybell's deliberate marketing strategy that uses public relations tactics, psychological manipulation, and religious language to shift the world's focus away from his convictions and onto his so-called “spiritual journey.” Chad Daybell can't stop trying to sell a story, even from a death-row jail cell in Idaho.#ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #LoriVallow #TammyDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #EmmaMurray #MelanieGibb #DaybellLetters #TheGreatEclipse #DoomsdayCult #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #MikeKing #CriminalProfiling #CultPsychology #Manipulation #Narcissism #Psychopathy #SpiritualBypassing #DeathRow #JusticeForJJ #JusticeForTylee #JusticeForTammy #CourtTV #LawAndCrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When the “Letters from Chad” project launched in September 2025, convicted killer Chad Daybell tried to rebrand himself as a persecuted prophet, writing from his death row cell in Idaho, preaching innocence between the lines. But the words that were supposed to save his image did something else entirely. They exposed him. Let's walk through the full timeline of these letters, when they began, what he said, and why they suddenly stopped. We'll talk about the psychology behind Chad's need to control the narrative, how narcissistic offenders weaponize faith, and what this silence really means for his legal strategy and his psyche.Because make no mistake about the silence. It isn't a sign of redemption, it's a moment of recalibration. And when the next “revelation” comes, it'll be scripted, strategic, and manipulative. We'll also examine how his words impact the families of JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Tammy Daybell, and Charles Vallow and why the world should never forget that behind his spiritual spin lies real human tragedy. Then I'll share why I believe Chad's personality won't allow him to stay silent. The prophet may be grounded for now—but he's still trying to fly that same broken plane.#ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #LoriDaybell #TammyDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #EmmaMurray #DaybellLetters #DoomsdayCult #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DeathRow #Profiling #Psychology #Narcissist #Faith #Fraud #JusticeForJJ #JusticeForTylee #JusticeForTammy #CourtTV #LawAndCrime #DoomsdayProphet #LettersFromChad #Idaho #Cult=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

On Sunday June 17, 2024, Jay Slater, a 19-year-old bricklayer’s apprentice who lived in Lancashire, England was on his first ever foreign holiday. And he seemed to be having a blast. He had gone to the island of Tenerife in Spain with a female friend named Lucy and a guy named Brad. That night he and Lucy went out to a music festival called New Rave Generation. It was held at Papagayo Beach Club, along a strip called Veronica’s Strip that has a ton of nightclubs and neon signs. It was there he met two British men and somehow they made a plan to go on to their Airbnb. The next morning, Lucy got one last frantic call from Jay just after 8 am, saying he was lost, didn’t know where he was, and was panicked. He never showed up again. So was Jay kidnapped and murdered, did he wander off into the wilderness or did something else happen to him? This case is wild. It has exposed the seedy underside of this island and the criminal underworld that are operating there, including drug lords and mobsters dubbed the timeshare killers. And everyone from police detectives to psychics and TikTok stars have descended on this tiny island in the Canaries to find a young man who was partying and vanished without a trace right in the middle of an island full of tourists.

This episode first aired on October 31, 2022. On September 30, 1994, 20-year-old Jarrod Green disappeared from Searcy, Arkansas. That night, he told his family he had plans to meet someone. During a phone call with his girlfriend, he sounded upset but refused to explain what was wrong. Earlier that week, Jarrod had retrieved a gun he had previously loaned to a friend, saying he needed it for protection. He never made it home and was never seen or heard from again.A few days later, Jarrod's car was found abandoned in the parking lot of a local store. The doors were unlocked, the windows were rolled down, and the keys were on the floor. His disappearance quickly went cold. His family heard little from law enforcement and felt as though the case had been forgotten.Over time, disturbing stories began to circulate. Less than a year later, another person connected to Jarrod vanished. Another reportedly took his own life after confessing to being involved in Jarrod's death. Years later, a group of new detectives decided to reexamine the case, and for the first time in decades, there was movement.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jarrod Green, please contact the Searcy Police Department at (501) 268-3531.You can follow developments in Jarrod's case on Facebook at Justice for Jarrod.

October 12th, 1964. Washington, D.C. Mary Meyer was murdered while taking a walk along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath. The police quickly arrested a man named Ray Crump who was near the crime scene. But Crump's arrest and trial didn't answer the many questions surrounding Mary's murder. In the years that followed there were suggestions that she was killed because of her close association with D.C. officials.For bonus episodes and outtakes visit: patreon.com/generationwhyhttps://genwhypod.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Whitney Wilken had always been known as a free spirit to those who loved her. She grew up in South Dakota but later moved west to Olympia, Washington. Life in Olympia wasn't always easy for Whitney, and the distance made it hard for her family to know what was going on in her day-to-day life. Still, they stayed connected, and her family could always count on hearing from her.Then, in October of 2019, the calls from Whitney stopped. Her family reached out to friends in Olympia who went to look for her, but it was as if Whitney had vanished without a trace. No one seemed to know where she had gone or why. When Whitney was reported missing to the Olympia Police Department, their search yielded few answers, and the questions only grew heavier with time. In the years that followed, new information surfaced that raised even more concern. Other women in the same area, with circumstances similar to Whitney's, had been victimized, leading investigators to consider whether her disappearance might be connected to something much darker.Six years later, Whitney's loved ones are still waiting for answers. They hope that by sharing her story, someone out there might remember seeing or hearing something that could finally bring them closer to finding her.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Whitney Wilken, please contact the Olympia Police Department. For urgent or time-sensitive tips, call 911 or the non-emergency line at (360) 704-2740. For other information, please call (360) 753-8300 and ask for the Detective Sergeant handling Whitney's case.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
